Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff were very kind. Location is great with food and a train station (Odakyu line) very close.
The biggest problem with the place is the lack of shared spaces specifically for the guests. This isn’t going to be a problem for some I think but I personally think of hostels as places to meet and talk with fellow travelers. Harder to do without dedicated shared spaces for the travelers to socialize in. There is the sleeping area and bathrooms but no real area for the guests to hang out. You can use the cafe down stairs but it isn’t really for the guests so you will be sharing it with the cafe customers. You also have to exit the building to get to the cafe. Plus the cafe isn’t open at all times so you might find yourself needing to sit outside to talk on the phone or talk without bothering other people trying to sleep.
Some additional notes is that you have to rent things like towels and such if you don’t bring your own. This sort of thing depends on the hostel in my experience but I do prefer ones where towels are provided because they can take up a good bit of space. While there is laundry in the shared area, there is no good hanging area for air drying things like towels or non-dryer safe clothes.
